Should the motorcycle's reserve fuel tank be switched up or down?

Motorcycle's reserve fuel tank should be switched up. Motorcycle reserve fuel tank: The auxiliary fuel tank is theoretically a reserve fuel tank. When the fuel in the main tank burns to a certain level and there is no display showing the remaining fuel, the designer created the reserve fuel tank. The main tank is used before the reserve tank. When no fuel flows out, the reserve tank is used to remind the owner to refuel. Fuel tank reserve capacity: In addition to the design of the vehicle model, the reserve capacity of the fuel tank and fuel consumption, the calculation of the reserve fuel tank also needs to consider the environment, road conditions, and the driver's habits. Some models can still run 10KM when reaching the reserve fuel level. To calculate the car's reserve fuel tank, refer to the values in the car's manual. Theoretically, it is about forty kilometers.

I've been riding motorcycles for almost ten years and have encountered this issue quite often. Generally, the fuel tank switch on a motorcycle is a knob marked with ON and RES. When the main tank runs out, you need to turn it to the RES position to access the reserve fuel. Usually, you rotate it downward, but this can vary depending on the bike model—some designs are different. That's why I always test the switch operation when riding a new bike. The reserve fuel isn't much, just about one or two liters, enough to cover 20-30 kilometers. Once it's used up, you should quickly find a gas station to refuel to avoid engine damage from running dry. I recommend new riders familiarize themselves with their bike's switch operation before hitting the road to avoid any mid-ride confusion or mishaps.

What is the relationship between displacement and horsepower?

Normally, displacement and horsepower are directly proportional. The larger the displacement, the greater the power, and consequently, the higher the horsepower. Below are the relevant introductions to displacement and horsepower: 1. Displacement: Displacement refers to the energy released by the engine per unit time (i.e., converting the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy). The working volume through which the piston moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement. 2. Horsepower: Another expression for horsepower is power. The physical definition of power is the amount of work done by an object per unit time. It can be understood as the amount of energy generated by fuel per unit time. Therefore, power is merely a physical quantity describing the speed of work. The higher the power, the more energy is generated per unit time, and often, the higher the maximum speed of the car. Maximum power is generally expressed in metric horsepower (PS) or kilowatts (kW), where 1PS=0.735kW.

What is the tire size of the A4L?

Audi A4L's tire size is 18 inches. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the car's suspension to mitigate the impacts encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. The following are precautions for using car tires: 1. Avoid starting the car too abruptly; whether the car is empty or loaded, start smoothly at low speed. This prevents the tires from dragging on the ground, reducing tread wear. 2. When driving on good roads, maintain a straight path. Except for meeting vehicles or avoiding obstacles, avoid swaying left and right or making sharp turns to prevent lateral cutting damage between the tire and the rim. 3. When descending long slopes, control the speed appropriately based on the slope's gradient, length, and road conditions. On long, steep, or complex roads, drive in gear and use slight braking to control speed downhill. This not only avoids emergency braking and reduces tire wear but also ensures safe driving.

Why Do Brake Pads Squeak?

The reasons for brake pads squeaking are as follows: 1. Newly replaced brake pads and brake discs require a break-in period, usually around 500 kilometers. The brake disc may have been worn unevenly by the old brake pads, while the new brake pads have a smooth surface. Therefore, the contact area is initially small and requires break-in. It is normal for there to be noise before the break-in is complete. 2. Severe wear of the brake pads: This occurs when the brake pads reach the warning line or are completely worn out. The noise is mostly a metallic friction sound and is relatively sharp. If accompanied by a decrease in braking effectiveness, this is likely the cause. 3. Noise caused by the material of the brake pads: Harder brake pad materials are more prone to causing this type of noise, while softer materials may produce a sharper sound. If accompanied by a decrease in braking effectiveness, this is likely the cause. 4. Improper installation of the brake system causing noise: This is more complex and requires inspection and handling at a repair shop.

When should a new car go for maintenance?

New cars should be maintained every 3 months or every 5,000±500 kilometers, whichever comes first. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. New car maintenance generally involves six major inspection parts: 1. Change the engine oil, and it is necessary to clean the three filters, namely the oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter; 2. Check whether the coolant level of the car is in a normal state; 3. Check the position of the brake and clutch fluid levels; 4. Check whether the power steering fluid level is normal and whether there is any oil leakage at the oil pipe interfaces; 5. Check the aging and tension of the generator, air conditioner, water pump, and belts; 6. Check the tire pressure and wear condition, inflate the tires, or perform tire rotation if there is wear.

What Does Custom Tuning Mean?

Custom tuning refers to adjustments made based on the car's model, driving habits, and actual vehicle conditions. Without custom tuning, engines of the same displacement may have different ECU computers and production years, leading to inconsistent horsepower output before and after program optimization. More details are as follows: 1. A good tuning program needs to match the owner's driving habits, the car's software, and hardware. If only the car's hardware is upgraded without optimizing the software, the car's performance cannot be fully utilized. 2. Each driver has different driving habits, and different driving habits require different software needs. If the car frequently drives on highways, the owner may have certain demands for engine horsepower. If the car often drives in urban areas, the owner may have certain demands for engine torque output. Therefore, not all programs are called custom tuning programs, and not all optimization solutions are suitable for every car. Only the program that suits your car is the best. 3. It is important to note that when upgrading the car's hardware, it must be compatible with the car's software; otherwise, the hardware cannot perform to its full potential.

How to Clean a Dirty Car Roof Liner?

Methods for cleaning a car roof liner are as follows: 1. First, remove surface dust. Start by reclining the seats and covering them with a towel or large plastic sheet. Then use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, use a dry brush to perform a simple cleaning of the interior roof liner to remove easily detachable dust and dirt. 2. For stubborn stains that cannot be wiped off with a dry towel, use some high-quality cleaning products. Spray a neutral foam cleaner onto the fabric surface of the interior roof liner, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and then gently wipe repeatedly with a soft cleaning brush or fine-textured car cleaning cloth. Be very gentle during the process to avoid damaging the roof liner fabric. Also, ensure to wipe in a systematic and orderly manner, avoiding back-and-forth rubbing. 3. Wipe off foam and stains. Use a wrung-out cotton cloth to smooth along the direction of the interior roof liner's fabric to avoid wetting the liner, which may make it difficult to dry. Residual foam cleaner can cause the fabric of the interior liner to harden or even discolor, so this step should be repeated several times to thoroughly clean the interior liner.
